AWD & 4WD Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep & Ram Models

Enjoy Excellent Capability in Our AWD and 4WD
Vehicles

If you're looking for a vehicle that can provide an
excellent drive all year round, through all kinds of unpredictable New England
weather, then an all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive vehicle could be just what
you need. These vehicles can provide additional traction and stability to help
you stay in control in all kinds of conditions, so you can enjoy a safe drive
with great performance no matter what the weather looks like. We have a number
of AWD and 4WD vehicles available here at Scap Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and we
would be happy to help you find the one that's right for you. The first
question you need to ask is which system is right for you: AWD or
4WD?

All-Wheel Drive

All-wheel drive systems provide power to all the
wheels at once. These systems are great for taking on slippery conditions and
mild off-roading. With an AWD system, you can tackle icy roads, snow, mud sand
and dirt or gravel roads. These vehicles can help you stay in control in a
variety of different conditions, so you can stay prepared for just about
anything.

Four-Wheel Drive

Four-wheel drive systems are similar to AWD systems
in that they provide power to all the wheels; however, 4WD is better suited to
more extreme conditions and rougher terrain. A 4WD vehicle can help you take on
dicey terrain, steep inclines, rough roads and more while maintaining traction
and keeping you in control. Many 4WD systems can switch between 4WD and 2WD as needed.
If you enjoy off-rod driving, then a 4WD vehicle is for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between
AWD and 4WD? A four-wheel drive system switches from 2WD to 4WD only
as needed, and engages all the wheels at the same time, providing optimal
performance for off-roading. An AWD system is always engaged, and can respond automatically
to changes in road conditions.

Are AWD and 4WD vehicles really worth
it? If you want a vehicle that can quickly adapt to changing
conditions and keep you in control even in bad weather, then an AWD or 4WD
vehicle is a good option for you. In New England, where weather can be
unpredictable, we think these systems are especially useful.

Do I need to rotate my tires more often
on an AWD or 4WD vehicle? That really depends on the vehicle you
choose. Some manufacturers recommend rotating AWD and 4WD vehicles' tires twice
a year, but you should check your owner's manual to learn about the
recommendations for your particular model.

How do I find the AWD or 4WD vehicle
that's right for me? You are welcome to take a look at our online
inventory to see the models we have available, and you can come in to our
